[QUOTE="Carlos88, post: 2332246, member: 116554"] 1. Yes. Take off the front base. Look down the front receiver hole. You should see barrel threads. If you see a shiny spot you just found your culprit. Shorten screw by .010. Reassemble and go shoot. I have seen this problem with at least 6 rifles. Mine, friends, relatives and folks on boards like this. This is a bigger problem with custom barrels after re-machining barrel threads. 2. Check runout on your loads. 3. Make sure your neck tension is adequate. I like .003". 4. Clean barrel, shoot it dirty for at least twenty rounds. With the same bullet. 5. Use same base to ogive length (same as factory) with different bullets but do not shoot different ones in shot strings. Report back if you can. [/QUOTE]
